It was the semi-official launch of a new comic strip I have been working on called "Rabbits Against Magic". In case you didn't know the Cartoon Art Museum is one of only about four museums in the US dedicated to cartoons and comic strips. They have an excellent permanent collection (including a Walt Kelly Pogo daily and a couple of George Herriman originals, one of which--a Krazy Kat Sunday--is the jewel of the collection). In the Bay Area we are lucky to have two (the other being the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa. Here's the strip I drew "live" that day. I'm not used to drawing while people are watching.
